    The water suppliers over here are starting to refer to people as customers like water isn’t a basic human right and they are rolling out a digital meter to track your water usage to the last drop (and charge you for it). This meter is closely watched by the EU to implement everywhere.

    Europe is in a normal place.

      Learn how to collect and treat your own rainwater I guess. Things are going to get really rough in the coming decades, that’ll become a vital skill.

      Everywhere should have free water like Ireland but metered with a sensible amount of water free and anything over the designated free water amount sold for a sensible price. I’ve seen too many people in Ireland forget to turn off water all the time and using it like it’s not a precious resource just because it’s free.
